Ecological immunology of mosquito–malaria interactions [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2008 More than a century after the discovery of the complex life cycle of its causative agent, malaria remains a major health problem. Understanding mosquito-malaria interactions could lead to breakthroughs in malaria control.

Introduction. Ecological immunology [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 An organism's fitness is critically reliant on its immune system to provide protection against parasites and pathogens. The structure of even simple immune systems is surprisingly complex and clearly will have been moulded by the organism's ecology. The aim of this review and the theme issue is to examine the role of different ecological factors on the

Evolution of immune-neuroendocrine integration from an ecological immunology perspective
Cell and Tissue Research, 2011 Bow tie architecture can support evolutionary integration between the immune and neuroendocrine systems, answering ecological immunology demands in terms of economy and efficiency.

Principles of ecological immunology. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2009 Defending self against nonself is a major problem in a world in which individuals are under constant pressure from parasites that gain fitness benefits at a cost to their host.

Ecological immunology in a fluctuating environment: an integrative analysis of tree swallow nestling immune defense [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2013 Evolutionary ecologists have long been interested by the link between different immune defenses and fitness. Given the importance of a proper immune defense for survival, it is important to understand how its numerous components are affected by ...

Advances in ecological immunology
Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2012 Ecology is the study of the distribution and abundance of organisms and their interactions with their environment,including parasites and pathogens.Immunology is the study of physiological functioning of the immune system in states of health and disease.The two disciplines has unified and led to the new discipline of ecological immunology,or ...

Insights Into Cetacean Immunology: Do Ecological and Biological Factors Make the Difference?
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related protein A (MICA) in fibroblast cell cultures of cetaceans (skin biopsies of free-ranging specimens and skin samples of freshly stranded ...

Ecological immunology and tolerance in plants and animals
Functional Ecology, 2011 Summary1. Most animal studies of ecological immunology have focused on parasite resistance: defence mechanisms through which animals prevent infection or reduce parasite growth. Resistance mechanisms have obvious fitness benefits by reducing the fitness losses attributed to infection.2.
